However, ahead of their meeting at MacDiarmid Park on Wednesday night, the Northern Irishman said: "Form can change so quickly.

"People would have said playing us after Celtic beat us was the perfect time and look what happened.

"Managers don't sit and think 'they've lost three'...you think the other way, that they haven't won so they are due to pick up points.

"So it doesn't enter into my psyche or the players' psyche.

"Their form is not good but they are still ahead of us. It just shows you how tough this league is.

"They were unbeaten are the top of the league then all of a sudden the goals dry up and they slip down the league a bit.

"They will be disappointed with the run they are on but Craig is experienced enough to know how quickly it turns round."
